Government readies three-tier lockdown in England as Deutsche Bank warns of economic hit

Even a two-week hospitality shutdown would reduce UK's monthly GDP by 1%, Raja says

England’s patchwork quilt of local lockdowns will be replaced with three tiers of restrictions that will be implemented uniformly across the nation, the government is expected to announce in the coming days.

The government plans to announce a three-tiered system of lockdown measures across England on 12 October, Sky News reported. Northern parts of England, which have the highest number of positive cases, will face the strictest rules.
